Heinrich Haarberg News, Rumors, Updates - Nebraska Cornhuskers

Switches to tight end Haarberg has switched from quarterback to tight end ahead of the 2025-26 season.

Impact Haarberg will transition to tight end after appearing at quarterback as a backup with the Cornhuskers across the last two seasons. During his time with Nebraska, the 6-foot-5 senior has thrown for 1,068 yards (87-of-175), seven touchdowns and interceptions, adding on 579 rushing yards and six scores on the ground, along with four receptions for 28 yards, Haarberg's 6-foot-5 frame makes the transition to tight end feasible for the senior, but it remains to be seen how he will be deployed during the 2025-26 season.

Impact Dylan Raiola will be the Cornhuskers' starting quarterback when they begin their 2024 season on Aug. 31. Ideally for Haarberg, his freshman teammate falters early, giving the older QB another opportunity to handle first-team snaps sooner than later.

Not starting QB for Week 13 Haarberg was not named the starting quarterback for Nebraska's game Friday against Iowa, Steve Marik of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Despite being probable for the Iowa game, Nebraska's head coach Matt Rhule said Wednesday that Chubby Purdy will get another start after he logged nearly 275 all-purpose yards at Wisconsin during Week 12. There is still a chance Haarberg plays against Iowa, but his upside is now significantly lesser than what it would have been if he was named the starting quarterback.

Does not feature against Badgers Haarberg (ankle) didn't play against Wisconsin on Saturday.

Impact The absence of Haarberg wasn't surprising, as he was not spotted taking first-team reps before Saturday's game against Wisconsin, and instead, it was Chubba Purdy who featured under center. Haarberg will try to return for the regular-season finale against Iowa next Friday.

NOVEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Observed in warmups Haarberg (ankle) was spotted warming up with both ankles taped for Saturday's game against Wisconsin, Sam McKewon of the Omaha World-Herald reports.

Impact Although Haarberg is warming up, he was also not wearing pads during the early part of warmups. It is a positive sign to see him in the field, although more news will need to confirm his status for the game.

Questionable on injury report Haarberg (ankle) is listed on the injury report

Impact A report earlier in the week indicated that Haarberg would be available in some capacity, so his presence as questionable on the injury report may suggest he'll be limited, at best, as reported. Jeff Sims and Chubba Purdy are the other candidates under center to see some reps.

Questionable vs Wisconsin Head coach Matt Rhule indicated Monday that Haarberg (ankle) suffered an anke sprain and is questionable for Saturday's game against Wisconsin, Mitch Sherman of The Athletic report...

Impact Haarberg suffered the ankle injury during Saturday's matchup. Rhule mentions he will have more information on the quarterback's availability if he is able to practice Tuesday. Should he be out, Jeff Sims would likely get the start under center.

Sounds done for day Head coach Matt Rhule indicated Saturday that Haarberg injured his ankle, saying it will be Jeff Sims during the second half of the contest, Curt Weiler of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Haarberg appears to be done for the day after the ankle injury, leaving the offensive in the hands of Jeff Sims for the remainder of the contest. More information on the severity of Haarberg's ankle issue may surface in the coming days. Prior to his exit, Haarberg completed just one of five passes for no gain while tossing a pick. He added two carries for no gain as well before Sims took over.

Tough day through the air in loss Haarberg completed 12 of 28 passes for 129 yards and two interceptions during Saturday's 20-17 loss to Michigan State. He also had 14 rushes for 37 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Haarberg struggled to get things going with his arm, completing less than 50 percent of his passes and throwing two interceptions against a less-than-stellar Michigan State defense. He did manage to somewhat salvage his day with a five-yard rushing score in the second quarter, his fifth of the year. A potentially high-scoring matchup against Maryland awaits Haarberg and Nebraska on Saturday.

Haarberg and Huskers work to knock down turnovers – and maybe a few big hits and the occasional busted lip Huskers look to solve turnover problems coming from bad ball handling as much as bad decisions.

Two passing touchdowns in win Haarberg was 6-for-11 passing for 122 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 31-14 victory against Purdue. He also had 19 rushes for 22 yards and two fumbles.

Impact Haarberg threw multiple touchdowns for the first time since the Week 3 win over Northern Illinois. The sophomore quarterback first hit tight end Thomas Fidone for a one-yard touchdown. He then took a long play-action dropback before hitting a wide-open Jaylen Lloyd deep downfield for a walk-in 73-yard touchdown. Haarberg didn't find his usual success in the rushing game, being held below 70 rushing yards for just the second time since taking over as Nebraska's starting quarterback in late September. However, Haarberg did cough up two fumbles in his own territory during the second half, leading him to be temporarily benched for previous starter Jeff Sims (who also fumbled shortly thereafter). Haarberg will look to play a little cleaner when Nebraska faces Michigan State on the road in Week 10.
